Product Details

What is Shift?

Shift is a desktop app for streamlining accounts, apps, and workflows, available for Windows or Mac workstations. Once downloaded, it enables the end user to simultaneously access and interact with multiple email accounts, enterprise apps, and integrated collaboration tools. It provides a search tool, notifications, and a customizable workspace interface to keep all necessary tools managed. Users can also create and share focused Workspaces with mission-critical tabs, bookmarks, and apps for personal or individual use, or for team use.

Its most basic functionality enables the worker to see and manage multiple email accounts in one place (e.g. Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Outlook, etc). Also, users can include extension. Some among these are: Boomerang, Grammarly, Dropbox, Gmelius, GoToMeeting, HubSpot, Mailtrack, Lastpass, MixMax, Todoist, Zoom, and Streak.

The vendor states their focus with Shift is on providing logic and beauty, and that it ultimately aims to drive efficiency flowing from improved organization and end-user comfort while managing multiple apps from a single workspace.

Shift is a life saver

After using an app-integrated browser for the past 2 years, I could never go back. The most frustrating thing is switching between accounts on the same app or having to constantly log in and out. With Shift, I have a curated list of apps I use daily for different workspaces (aka, different areas of my life), and I never need to log out. I have separate lists of apps for work, my social/personal life, and side projects. Not only are all my apps just one click away, but the workspaces in Shift also allow me to focus on specific tasks at a time, beautifully dividing my work and personal life. It's a bonus that Shift has also cured my tab hoarding tendencies.

It’s fantastic to be able to have all of my email accounts in one seamless app for my
macbook. I use it for my personal email, work email and consulting business emails and it’s awesome. There isn’t a direct “gmail app” for MacBook and that is how I came across this product and love it.

I use it as a solo, self-employed man who runs many small content creation businesses. Being a solo entrepreneur and having many different jobs to fill, including using many other apps to have a streamlined, simple, easy-to-use one-window application like Shift, helps streamline my ability to manage and maintain all of the projects I have opened once. This includes third-party apps like Canva Lightroom and WhatsAe. PP for business all in one fantastic place. I highly recommend that if you are somebody who is using a multi-application-based business, then a shift is highly recommended. It integrates into most websites. It's hard to find one that doesn't incorporate into the change, and its ability to create bookmarks import and exporting is extremely volleyball, especially when you're coming from a web browser-based business where you have to use bookmarks that are already on your Chrome.

I've been a Shift user for 5+ years now. It's fast, reliable and provides me access to all of my Google emails and associated Workspace tools in one convenient interface. Plus, I can load and login to Shift from any desktop (Win or Mac) and enjoy the same interface and access. And since Shift is self-contained, it does not affect the system that I'm accessing it from (no User level or login footprints). Finally, Shift has plugins for 100's of other products and platforms to easily integrate my most used browser based tools. I've recommended Shift to many colleagues, and they love it.

We use a lot of different programs to communicate since we are all WFH and that can make it really overwhelming for some people. I love that Shift lets you do a lot of different things at one time and not lose anything. You can have all your workspaces separate which means less confusion when looking for a tab again later. I also like that I can go between different emails incase things were sent somewhere else it allows me to keep my daily work time down and my productivity up.

I liked how it made my work much more efficient and organized. There are a lot of apps that I use daily for work and it made switching back and forth so much easier. It improved my time management. I can never go back to using any other web browsers.

As a consultant, I oftentimes struggle with many different client specific applications. Not every application is even allowed on my company's own laptop. Browser functionality is allowed however, and Shift keeps me connected to every client environment I need and simultaneously. This ensures I am able to seamlessly switch environments and stay updated.

I use Shift to stay updated across all of my workspaces and apps. As a freelancer, it's critical for me to stay abreast of all of my clients' needs, feedback, communication, and updates so that I can quickly help them with their problems (and get paid for my work!). Shift is the perfect solution for managing multiple emails and apps throughout the day.

As a professional juggling numerous projects and roles, I found myself drowning in a sea of open browser tabs, each dedicated to a different Gmail account. That's when I discovered Shift - a game-changer in email management. Shift is not just another email client; it's a productivity powerhouse tailored specifically for Gmail users like myself.

We have a portfolio of companies, each with its own set of SAAS products and email addresses. We use Shift to access all of them quickly without having to manage logging in and out of different tools. It also pulls all of my calendars together in one view. Even as a single email client, I find it useful as I can jump between email, Slack, WhatsApp, and Trello in one place.

Shift helps me stay organized and focused by having a central portal to access all of my high-use apps, such as email, calendar, CRM, project management tools, and the option to access a web browser. It helps me feel less chaotic as I don't have to have a multitude of Chrome tabs open, and I can easily toggle between platforms.

I use Shift to manage the multiple email accounts I use. One of the accounts is my business account for the church I work for. As a church, we have decided to use Google for all our document creation and management. The layout and ease of use with Shift allows me to manage multiple documents at one time.

If you manage multiple Gmail inboxes, Shift is the best option I've come across to make that process less cluttered. It makes it easy to toggle back and forth between Google Workspace apps without trying to figure out which tab it's in. Replace tabs in your traditional with a much more streamlined workplace.

Shift collects all the frequently used web apps in one place to reduce the time to switch them all my working time. I used it for nearly all of my communication within different channels. It is the main application that opens the whole of my working time. This integration helps me focus on my work day by day.

Shift has transformed the way I work every day! Having one central hub that I go to for all of my apps is incredible and being able to manage multiple emails as a freelancer has been a game-changer. I regularly recommend Shift to clients and colleagues as a way of improving efficiency!

I use Shift in my daily life. It centralizes email, calendar, and all of the tools that I use daily - slack, Jira, confluence, productboard, Asana, etc. I can access all that I need from a central source and navigate with ease. It makes my daily life much more straightforward.

I have all my applications connected through Shift, including my GMail corporate account, Slack, Telegram, GoogleDrive, Dropbox, Notion... everything that I need in one place, so I don't need to jump from Windows or applications. All the alerts and notifications in one place and everything interconnected, so I don't need to take care about anything else.

I use Shift at work to streamline the process of managing multiple email accounts, using Slack, and using a few other platforms all in one window. Because I have a research-heavy job - I already always have a million tabs open. It is nice to be able to have a separate window where I can house all of my communication-related apps/websites/etc and a few others. I recommended the platform to a couple of other people at my company who now use it too. I'd say this is more of a personal workflow solution than a general business solution.
